Abstract

A controller activates a drive unit to drive actuators for performing discharge-free drive operation of an inkjet head while the inkjet head is moved relative to paper before printing. The controller controls a transport mechanism including carriage to move the inkjet head to the printing position and activates another drive unit to perform printing operation, in response to received printing command. An independent claim is also included for inkjet printer control method.
